He began a whole movement to save the earth at a time when this was difficult to do because we were into exploitation. He made us much more aware.

Bailey Sun, 25 Apr 2010 23:02:42 +0000 http://blog.epa.gov/blog/?p=2607#comment-29985 I can remember the Santa Barbara oil blowout and the river that runs through Cleavland catching fire from all the hazardous chemicals and pollutants that were being dumped into it. Big corporations still want to roll back the Clean Water Act and the Clean Air Act. And we saw last week a fresh example of why we need to keep our antipollution laws in tact. The blowout in the Gulf of Mexico that has cost 11 workers their lives, seriously injured others, and led to a major oil pollution problem. Best wishes, Michael E. Bailey.

Many of our practices also saved our family money, so it was doubly important we not slack off on them. Back then it was quirky. Something cute like my mom playing guitar for girl scout singalongs. In college, environmental science became an intellectual challenge for me to understand how our home planet functions. Nowadays, it seems like a rescue mission – bailing water out of our sinking ship.

One of my favorite people is a retired fisheries professor of an age to be a contemporary of Gaylord Nelson. He and one of his former students participated in this National Guard environmental video project: http://www.ngdocs.com An excellent example of collaboration across generations. Enjoy!

The people probably didn’t think this relationship. However, the meteors came here a few days ago. We need many Gaylord Nelsons to answer the universe phenomenons. Challenges for “Scientists Plus”….
